The qed driver will allow support for several drivers other than
qede, and each of said protocol drivers will require some sort of
L2-like ability to send and receive traffic -
the common use-case would be for control traffic specific for the
protocol that needs to reach user/kernel tools, although other cases
exist as well [some of which are for internal use by firmware].
You have to describe in more detail who these users will be.
Actually, you are required to submit a use case along with any new
facility and set of interfaces like this.
Otherwise it is impossible to review the facility and make sure it
does what it is supposed to do, and is designed well for it's intended
use case.
